Now that 14 of their culinary counterparts have packed up their knives, Hosea, Carla and Stefan are all that remain for tonight’s final “Top Chef” cook-off. It’s been a very interesting season: We’ve seen talented chefs cut too soon (hi Ariane!) and untalented cooks hang around forever (seriously Leah, have an emotion).

And while I’d have preferred to have Fabio in the finale — for the comments alone — I see tonight’s last challenge (cook the best meal of your lives) as a two-horse race. Either Stefan or Carla is going to win the New York City-set season. Here are quick pros and cons of each.

Stefan

Pro: He’s incredibly gifted with a knife, the kind of chef people would travel to see and would do wonders for the “Top Chef” brand…

Con: Until he opens his mouth and offends anyone who comes to see him.

Carla

Pro: Her winning personality — “Gaaaaail!” — has made her the show’s most beloved contestant ever and having women win back-to-back seasons would be fantastic.

Con: Some may see her as not being a strong enough chef. Those people are idiots!
